(Case C-160/16)
(2016/C 251/04)
Language of the case: Greek

Parties


Applicant: European Commission (represented by: G. Ζavvos and K. Talabér-Ritz, acting as Agents)

Defendant: Hellenic Republic

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


Declare that, since the Hellenic Republic has failed to submit a report on cost-optimal levels, as is laid down in Article 5(2) of Directive 2010/31/ΕU (1) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 May 2010 on the energy performance of buildings, as supplemented by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 244/2012 (2) of 16 January 2012 establishing a comparative methodology framework for calculating cost-optimal levels of minimum energy performance requirements for buildings and building elements, the Hellenic Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under those provisions;










—


order the Hellenic Republic to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments







1.


On 18 March 2016 the European Commission brought an action against the Hellenic Republic which seeks a declaration from the Court of Justice that the Hellenic Republic, by failing to submit a report on cost-optimal levels, as is laid down in Article 5(2) of Directive 2010/31/ΕU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 May 2010 on the energy performance of buildings, as supplemented by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 244/2012 of 16 January 2012 establishing a comparative methodology framework for calculating cost-optimal levels of minimum energy performance requirements for buildings and building elements, has failed to fulfil its obligations under those provisions.










2.


By it action the Commission submits that, with respect to its abovementioned claims, the Greek authorities have not yet communicated the final report on cost-optimal levels of minimum energy performance requirements for buildings and building elements, using the comparative methodology framework established by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 244/2012 and that consequently there is an infringement of Article 5(2) of Directive 2010/31/ΕU.
